Hello, Dr. Dotres. My name is Bill Detzner. My blog is mdcpsallegations.com This is my second email to you. If you did not get a chance to read my first email to you, you can find both that email and this one posted on my blog.
I am writing to you about a recent video that is now nationwide news. It involves a WHITE teacher (Colin McNally) physically assaulting an African American 14 year old child in a New York City public school.
Dr. Dotres, can you imagine the intense pressure the NYC school superintendent is under as a result of that physical assault? I ask this question because myself and the stakeholders of Neva King Cooper (NKC) are working with Black Lives Matter (BLM) to bring to media attention the fact that WHITE school principal Dr. Tracy Roos of Neva King Cooper School is currently accused (with documented proof) of allegedly physically assaulting an African American custodian (Ms. Sabrina Crawley Cross) and allegedly denying Hispanic teacher Javier Ruiz Lopez permission to see a physician after being injured on the job.
In the past, Dr. Roos has allegedly physically assaulted A PROFOUNDLY MENTALLY HANDICAPPED AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILD, (again with witnesses) and a Hispanic SOCIAL WORKER who had so little confidence in MDCPS authorities to either properly investigate this incident or to protect her from retaliation for reporting this incident that she declined to file a report of this incident. She is a retired MDCPS employee, should an investigative reporter wish to hear her side of the story. If any MDCPS authority has taken the time to read my blog, you will realize that this is just the tip of the iceberg regarding the egregious offenses Dr. Roos has allegedly been guilty of.
Dr. Dotres, my guess (as a ten year former UTD building steward) is that the problem of school administrators physically assaulting school employees is systemic throughout MDCPS. As school board employees no longer get tenure, and can be easily dismissed by school administrators, and as UTD president Karla Hernandez Mats gives the appearance of having little or no interest in enforcing the contract, school employees who are physically assaulted by school administrators know that to file a grievance for this means termination of employment, as both UTD and MDCPS authorities give the appearance of actively supressing all wrongdoing by MDCPS administrators.
Dr. Dotres, whether you know it or not, you are sitting on top of a smoldering volcano that is about to blow.
Do you remember Harvey Weinstein, the legendary Hollywood mogul? For many years, he was above the law and free to physically assault women. He is now in prison, where he will probably remain for life. While the NKC stakeholders hope we are wrong, we suspect that YOU Dr. Dotres suffer from the same arrogance and hubris of Harvey Weinstein. Given the choice of using your authority as the MDCPS superintendent to do a VERY badly needed in-house cleaning, or waiting until bad publicity forces the state of Florida to step in and clean up your mess for you, the NKC stakeholders fear you will choose the latter option.
If the NKC stakeholders and BLM are successful in bringing the alleged crimes of Tracy Roos to the attention of the media, the state of Florida will have no choice but to do an in-depth investigation of MDCPS, and hopefully to place the nation’s fourth largest school district under state supervision until such time as a superintendent can be found who will enforce both Federal and state laws.
